Because I think it can be a huge relief (at least for repeatable fights) and since it appears to be a complicated matter for many people I'd like to show you in this little guide how fast and easy this topic can be tackled.

There will be an article about the functions and advantages of every listed AddOn soon. This one is just to show how quick and clear you can make use of Rematch + TD Script.
If you want to learn how to write TD Scripts you can click this link with instructions for it: Writing TD Scripts.

1. Required AddOns

⇨ Rematch

⇨ tdBattlePetScript

⇨ tdBattlePetScript Rematch

Also you'll need a source from which you can get strings and scripts prompt and easy.
Fortunately this site is just the right one for that task.
Every strategy automatically offers a Rematch String and those that are marked with the respective Tag also provide a TD Script.
Hint: when a strategy doesn't include a script on its own there is a good chance somebody in the comments is sharing one.

2. Importing Rematch Strings

1. Open the Pet Journal ingame. On the right edge you'll see one or multiple tabs (which you can edit). Now right click on the tab in that you want to import a certain team.
2. Now left click on "Import Teams".
3. A window will open in which you can insert a Rematch String.

3. Obtaining a Rematch String from Xu-Fu

1. Go to the desired strategy on http://wow-petguide.com/.
2. Now left click on the button "Rematch String".
3. Act as described above and then import the already saved string in the open window.
4. Click "Save".

4. Importing TD Scripts

1. Right click on the saved team ingame.
2. Left click on "Write script".
3. A window opens to either write or insert a script.

5. Obtaining scripts from Xu-Fu

1. Go to the desired strategy on http://wow-petguide.com/.
2. Now left click on the button "TD Script".
3. Act as described above and then import the already saved script in the open window.
4. Click "Save".

That's it!

When you face the corresponding encounter Rematch will now automatically (depending on your settings) load the right team and will also enable you to press just one button (by default A) to play every turn.

In case anyone was struggling to figure this out, "a" (for auto) can be used to activate the next step of the script instead of clicking on it with a mouse. The "A" on the auto button looked like a ^ to me, not an A. Took me few days to figure that out.

I followed all the steps in this guide, but when ever I press my button to run the script whilst in battle it does nothing. Does anybody know how to fix this??

Is it possible you didn't import both strings? (Rematch String AND TD Script String, both on the same page at wow-petguide.com.) I accidentally only imported the Rematch String and the "Auto" button was greyed out, my big clue that I dun goof'd

This is maybe a stupid clarification but you need to do BOTH the imports - I thought initially it was just two different options but one is to import the team and one is to import the actual moves that let you auto. I don't know why I couldnt figure this out but that's what confused me and why my Auto button was greyed out at first

I have followed the guide as well, I can pull up the window with the strategy (Before I start a fight). The "V" window, when it comes up, shows all four possible sources (Grayed out but usable) but when I open a window for any of them it is empty. I have never had the Auto or "A" button lit up for use. It is always grayed out and disabled.

Not sure what to do to fix. Looked all the places I can think of online.

Hello, I followed the guide, everything looked fine, but when I'm in pet battle and press A (or click Auto button) it just skips my turn, doing nothing. tried it with more battles and still the same result T_T

As of 11/25/2020 no "write script" on Rematch addon anymore. It's a fresh install because I just got a new SSD. Any chance we can update rematch?

I checked and both Rematch and both scripts had been disabled. I re enabled them. Still no go. In the end I figured out I had to write click the TEAM (not the button on the right) to get the Write Script menu. I think the image wasn't that clear or I'm just not very bright :P

I had to re-enable the tdBattlePetScript and tdBattlePetScriptRematch addons (esc, Addons, then check them on Addon List) in order to make it work - somehow they were disabled, even though I was able to import a team. Only then could I right-click the team to get the correct menu with Write Script on it.

I have around 100+ teams/scripts on my laptop, is there a way to transfer them all at once to my desktop?

Copy the tdBattlePetScript, tdBattlePetScript_Rematch and Rematch folders from your WoW/_retail_/Interface/AddOns folder from the laptop to your desktop. Make sure WoW is not running when you do this.

File path may vary depending on OS and if you've logged into more than one WoW/Blizz account on that machine. (edited)

Has not worked for me, unfortunately.
I've transfered both Interface and WTF folders to a new computer. I've got Rematch teams ok, [-- but no corresponding tsBS scripts (Auto is greyed out). :) --]

Strike that: most of the scripts copied ok. Some did not, but I may not have them in the 1st place ;)

Too bad: I have 5 dungeons scripts to re-create ;( (edited)

Had this working last night with the temp fix from github, today Curse updated it and now I dont even see the option to write script. Did a manual reinstall of Rematch and tdscript but nada. Weird. Update on 10/28 >> installed the just released update for tdscript, still didnt work. Clean reinstalled Rematch and both tdscript + tdscript rematch = working now. (edited)

If i press write script now, it doesn't open the window. Could did be because the addon is not updated too 9.0?

On Discord, Super posted this a few hours ago:

Temporary Fix for TD Battle Pet Script Addon
1. Download link below
2. Find tdBattlePetScript in your addons folder, delete everything in it
3. Drag everything from the zip into the tdBattlePetScript folder
4. Do a /reload ingame
https://github.com/DengSir/tdBattlePetScript/archive/shadowlands.zip
I will be trying to get this onto Curse ASAP!

I don't know what it's a fix for, exactly, but it might be an improvement on whatever you've got.
